I haven't change the source server so far, because I've upgraded to
3.7 and have tried to sync the Windows client to the server. I've
experienced three cases with the new version:
1, The synchronization fails due to the stratum.
2, The synchronization succeeds.
3, The synchronization fails with error message: peer is unreachable.
As I've experienced, after starting the server there is a period when
the first case happens, and after a while the synchronization mostly
succeeds. The third case was rare. Is this the normal behaviour?
1) no. 2) yes. 3) no, sounds like a transient network problem.
I've tried the stock FreeBSD ntpd, and it behaves similar. I haven't
experienced the
issue with stratum, but sometimes it was unreachable. I've thought it
denies the
synchronization request while slewing the server's time, doesn't it?
As for the network, anything else is working and the port 123 is open in
the packet filter.
As for the DNS problem, thanks. I don't know what's wrong, however. I
did a
named reload after modifying the zone file, and there's the notify
support
between the two nameservers.
Did you remember to increase the zone serial number when you made your
changes?
Ohh, how lame I am. :) I've forgotten about it. Thanks.
